I have 5 of the older generation google home speakers that i dont use because google assistant got dumber and dumber so that in the end it was just easier to get up and turn off the light instead of having google do it.
It seems like a waste though to throw them away. Could I re purpose them in any way?
There’s a bunch of tutorials online about resurrecting them. Perhaps one like this could be helpful? https://youtu.be/m_cP53UGB8M
Now I’m just waiting for someone to do the same thing for the Nest Thermostats …
Shame nobody has been able to reuse the existing Google board but this is probably the next best thing. Might have to pick up a few boards.
